The Israeli police blocked the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and the head of the Franciscans in the Holy Land from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to perform the Sunday of the Palms ceremony. This decision has been characterized as a clearly unreasonable and disproportionate measure.
The incident has sparked strong reactions, with many questioning what will happen to the Holy Fire ceremony. The Holy Sepulchre is a significant site for Christians, and the blockade has raised concerns about religious freedom.
The situation is being closely monitored, and further developments are expected in the coming days.
